In order to test the sensitivity and specificity of spectral histopathology, the RUB team compared SHP with
classical immunohistochemical methods, in which tumours are identified with the aid of fluorescent labels.
Specific Clinical / Research Interest: Experimental neuropathology, neurodegenerative disorders, brain aging; Functional anatomy of the cerebral cortex, comparative neuroanatomy; Computer - assisted morphometry, stereology, microscopy; Magnetic resonance microscopy, functional brain imaging Current Students: Tuyen Nguyen (PhD) Postdoctoral Fellows: Camilla Butti, PhD, Timothy Rumbell PhD, Merina Varghese PhD Research Personnel: Bridget Wicinski, Daniel Dickstein Summary of Research Studies: Our research is directed towards the study of selective neuronal vulnerability in dementing illnesses using
classical neuropathological as well as modern quantitative
immunohistochemical methods.
